That quote does differ a little from the original post about the pitchfork, and suggests McLean never saw the item in question, which was nothing more than a sham that never saw Mclean or Hess, but was (unsurprisingly?) snatched up by the American as a 'false icon'. I wonder what Ms Wilson expected ...

MV Bute has been in service since 2005. Her sister, MV Argyle, left her Gdansk birthplace on Wednesday and is due to sail via the English Channel before arriving on the Clyde on Monday, ahead of her naming at, or near, Rothesay pier next Friday, April 27. The remaining streakers, MV Saturn and MV Ju...

Can't argue with good old honest, biased opnion :) The more I am finding out about this transfer, the more frightening it gets! Those of us not in a position to be privy to the real and true detail of the deal need more fact and less emotion, nice pictures, and sound-bite quotations. Now is the time...

You mean one of these (excuse the dust :oops:)? Probably the best thing you could use one for nowadays is as a weapon. Great bit of kit in their day for the price though :) Tongue in cheek, I hope :wink: I was fortunate to have the later TTL model, still manual though, but metered Through The Lens,...

Check your Profiles folder using whichever of the following points you to it. In there should be your Bookmarks.html file which contains your bookmarks. If that's not there or corrupt, there should also be a Bookmarks.bak file that will have a backup copy, so will have most of them. Firefox 2 bookma...

Maybe sounds crazy, but I had an incident with my camera where the lens was bumped while the camera was on and the lens extended. The results was a loss of focus - it did the focus operation, but when it said 'Focused', it wasn't. While I was considering what to do, I resorted to cycling it on and o...

I'm thinking "I'll smash my camera right into his fukking rat like face, fuck him, he's not walking away from this one" This is the sort of time I wish Zenith were making making digital cameras. * Zenith - makers of fine Russian photographic tanks for anyone that only came to photography ...

Don't know if it's got anything special for doing lettering, but Serif give away their Photoplus 6 package in return for registration, now that they're up at V11 in the real world:

And... the update. Couldn't be bothered waiting once I'd twigged about the updates. Of course, even though I've only got a few Add-ons installed, it had to be the last one I checked that appears to have been the culprit. Basically killed/disabled the lot, then brought them back one at a time, with r...

Perhaps it's time to step back and take stock of what has actually been achieved here, rather than what seem to be a growing monster being fuelled by inaccurate personal opinion, such as the Lost Glasgow site given above. Reading the start of this thread, the move has nothing to do with the treasure...

Well, at least I'm not completely alone :roll: (and I sympathise). Haven't had it freeze, or at least not regularly enough to blame it rather than the site I was accessing. Lots of history and bookmarks will slow down the startup - there are notes about this on the Fx site. You might be on to someth...
